Wouldn’t it be easier to paint after it’s partly assembled..? I’d rather tape off a few openings, than a shitload of them..!I was hoping to see my new block today, it's going to be a nice weekend in the 60's apparently.
Perfect to degrease the block new and apply some new paint.
But now it looks like if I'm lucky, next weekend will be nice.
Oh well, i can't order pistons and stuff till next month/weekend anyways.
Then I need to verify where the top of the piston sits at tdc, then off to the machine shop for a balance and crap.
ugg.

Main thing is i don't want to paint the new seals.
This time around i'm reusing a bunch of them like the valve covers.
So i was leaning towards some fancy auto body tape, a razor blade, and some Excedrin.![]()
I put the lsa supercharger on my ls3. Upgraded rockers and pushrods and a bunch of other stuff. Waiting for my tune to be finished so I can let her eat!What is an LSA?
